Imperial Whitetail Chic Magnet Chicory Deer Food Plot Seed

Imperial Whitetail Institute "CHIC MAGNET" chicory food plot seed contains WINA 100 Brand Chicory, the same chicory included in Imperial Chicory Plus, Imperial Alfa-Rack Plus and Imperial Extreme, now available by itself. WINA100 Brand Chicory is specially selected for whitetail deer food plots in climates where periodic heat and drought of late summer and early fall may slow production of other forages. More tender and less leathery and waxy than other chicories, WINA-100 Brand Chicory is dramatically more attractive and palatable to deer. Containing up to 44% protein, “CHIC MAGNET" provides deer with the protein levels they need to maximize health and antler growth. THE most attractive and palatable chicory product on the market!

Imperial Whitetail "Chic Magnet" food plot seed can be planted alone, mixed with other seeds, or over-seeded into existing forages to provide gains in variety, attractiveness and drought-resistance. It’s well-suited for planting in the spring or fall in most areas and lasts up to 3 years from a single planting.

It is important to plant "Chic Magnet"™ in the correct type of soil -- soil type, pH, etc. according to directions and favorable weather conditions. For best results do not cut corners and follow all of the steps listed below:

Soils - Select an area with heavy soils or soils that are moderately well drained.

Weather - Stay within the planting dates for your area as shown on the back of your Imperial “Chic”
Magnet bag. See our Planting Imperial Whitetail page for planting dates in your area. Do not plant during hot/dry weather.

Soil Test- to determine fertilizer and lime requirements. Imperial “Chic” Magnet needs a soil pH of 6.0 or higher to achieve optimum performance. If your soil test report says your soil pH is below 6.0, add the amount of lime recommended in your soil-test report to the surface of the seedbed. (If no soil test is available, add a minimum of 2 tons of lime per acre to the surface of the seedbed.) Do not skip this step - proper pH is a very important part of soil preparation. A professional soil test is recommended.

Lime - If lime is needed then disk Ag lime into the soil at a depth of 3-4 inches preferably at least 2 weeks prior to planting (for best results).

Smooth the plot thoroughly with a cultipacker (roller) or a weighted, fence-type drag. A cultipacker is recommended. Get the seedbed as smooth as possible to
eliminate any cracks that might allow the seed to get too deep. You want only good seed to soil contact.

Fertilizer - At planting apply fertilizer as recommended in soil test results to the surface of the seed bed. If no soil test is available then apply 400 lbs. of 20-20-20 or equivalent fertilizer per acre.

Seeding - Spread your seed onto the surface of your seed bed with a hand or other spreader set to 1/8 inch.

Finishing the food plot -

A. - If you used a weighted drag to smooth the plot before seeding (step 5), go directly to step 10 . DO NOT DRAG THE PLOT AGAIN AFTER SEEDING.

B. - If you used a cultipacker to smooth the plot before seeding (step 5), roll the plot again
after seeding to press the seed against the surface of the soil. DO NOT DRAG THE
PLOT AGAIN AFTER SEEDING.

Fertilize again - 30 to 45 days after planting with 100 lbs. of 33-0-0, 34-0-0 or another high nitrogen fertilizer. You may repeat this step at 45 day intervals until the plants are mature.

Optional - After planting you may want to place a small wire basket over a portion of your chicory plants as an "exclusion cage". This will give you a visual on how much your plot is grazed by deer.

Maintenance of Imperial Chic Magnet

Yearly Fertilization - Fertilize Imperial "Chic Magnet" every year, in the spring or early fall,
with 300 pounds of 20-20-20 fertilizer, or equivalent. Apply fertilizer when plants are dry.

Weed Control - If possible, mow the top off your plot several times in the
spring and then once again in the fall just before the forage plants or any weeds or grasses
appear to be ready to flower. Mowing will help control weeds and keep your "Chic" Magnet
even more lush, attractive and nutritious. Do not mow or apply herbicides within one week
of each other. Do not mow when conditions are hot and dry.

Soil pH - Soil test every 2-3 years to insure proper pH and fertility. You may need to add
more lime every few years. Many planters elect to top-dress their plots with 800-1,000
pounds of lime every year to help maintain optimum soil pH and plant production.
